Overnight
Dementia Support

St. Petersburg, Florida
"Night hours carry their own weight. We are there — steady when things shift, so both of you can rest."

For many families, the nights are the hardest part — restlessness, confusion, waking, wandering. And the toll of broken sleep compounds everything else.

Avelis overnight caregivers are not simply present — they are selected for this specific challenge. Nighttime dementia care asks for a different kind of composure: the ability to respond to disorientation without alarm, to redirect without escalating, and to hold a calm environment when the world feels uncertain to the person in their care.

We provide that. And we do it consistently, with the same caregiver wherever possible, so that a familiar voice and familiar manner are there in the dark hours when they matter most.

Nighttime dementia behaviors — sundowning, sleep disruption, confusion upon waking — are among the most physically and emotionally exhausting realities of this condition. They are also among the least visible to those who aren't living with them.

An overnight caregiver from Avelis is briefed on your loved one's specific patterns. They know what tends to help, what tends to escalate, and how to move through difficult moments without waking the whole household.

Their purpose is simple: everyone in this home should be able to rest tonight.

A night that
holds everyone.

i.
Caregiver Selected for Night Work
Not every caregiver is suited for overnight care. We place people who bring the specific temperament this shift demands — unhurried, alert, and genuinely calm in uncertain moments.
ii.
Briefed on Your Loved One's Patterns
Before arrival, your caregiver is told what to expect: typical sleep patterns, common night behaviors, what soothes, what doesn't. They arrive informed, not guessing.
iii.
Safety and Comfort Maintained
Wandering, falls, and confusion are managed with quiet vigilance — not restraint, not alarm. The goal is always to restore ease, not to control.
iv.
Morning Handoff
You wake to a brief, honest summary of how the night went — and a caregiver who has kept watch so you could genuinely rest.

Sleep is not
a luxury.
It is a necessity.

If you are losing sleep to care for someone else — night after night — you are not sustainable. Overnight care is not an indulgence. It is what makes the rest of the caregiving possible.

  • Family caregivers experiencing chronic sleep deprivation due to nighttime supervision
  • Households where sundowning, wandering, or night waking is a consistent challenge
  • Families managing a temporary acute period — illness, transition, behavioral change
  • Spouses who can no longer safely monitor overnight needs alone
  • Families who need reliable overnight coverage several nights per week
  • Anyone who needs to know that tonight, someone capable is watching

Straightforward.
No surprises.

Overnight care is priced as a flat shift rate, typically covering an 8–10 hour window. Rates reflect the specialized nature of nighttime dementia support and the experience of your matched caregiver.

Estimated Rate Range
Overnight Shift (8–10 hrs) $250–$340
Dementia-Experienced Caregiver Upper range
Multi-night Arrangements Discussed individually
Insurance Billing Not accepted
We are a private-pay service and do not currently bill insurance. Many families use long-term care insurance reimbursement, HSA/FSA funds, or private funds. We are happy to provide documentation to support any reimbursement claims.
